Please...

If you get some trouble, could you post at this Forum:
http://www.histwar.org/forum/index.php/board,75.0.html (http://www.histwar.org/forum/index.php/board,75.0.html)

This new version isn't really compatible with the previous one if there are some orders pending!
The best is to avoid to resume the old games with this version!

where can i find the latest version of directx9c? I tried almost everything, including updating latest directx drivers, but no luck. Do you have to 'add' this directx version or what? :evil:

It turns out that DirectX 9c has had a *lot* of updates since it was released.  Download the file linked in the post above and run it and it will download and install all the versions up to the current one.  Keep the file somewhere safe so you can do it again when needed.
